Agilent Technologies to Demonstrate Technology Leadership in Military Communications Solutions at MILCOM 2007

Oct 29, 2007

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will demonstrate its leadership offerings in military communications solutions at MILCOM 2007, including the following application areas: R&D, RF, operational test, networking, physical layer test, and internet security and monitoring. Agilent provides the high-performance measurement products and services required by the military so that they are freed up to focus on more demanding tasks.

On display at the event will be:

Agilent's new synthetic instruments: The demonstration will highlight the instruments' capability and flexibility by generating and analyzing complex communication signals such as the U.S. military's Link-16 secure communications format. Agilent's synthetic instruments are part of the U.S. Department of Defense's synthetic instrument initiative to develop modular, scalable instrumentation for automated test systems. The instrumentation provides the capability to easily insert new technology, as well as increased longevity of their automated military test systems.

R&D tools for design and simulation of Software Defined Radios: Those designing, implementing or evaluating Software Defined Radios can benefit from using the Agilent EEsof EDA system-level RF and microwave design software tools in combination with Agilent's test equipment. This combination allows a complete simulation from the originating DSP waveforms, either software- or FPGA-based, through the entire RF chain and propagation models, including the effects of RF interference and jamming. The connected Agilent software-hardware solution results in faster design and verification cycles and greater confidence in the performance of the finished product.

A new Military Radio Portable Tester, the Agilent L4600A: Displaying its durability the portable tester will be shown operating in a full-scale thunderstorm consisting of thunder, lightning and rain. Its capabilities and ease of use, as well as its ruggedness, make it an excellent tester in military environments.

Agilent has a long-standing leadership role as a broad line suppler of COTS equipment," said Ron Nersesian, vice president of Agilent's Wireless Business Unit. "We have an exciting, full line-up of test solution products based on commercial and military standards, and we are actively involved in the transformation requirements of the industry."
